Thirty-six percent of Kalamazoo College students participate in intercollegiate athletics. The Hornet Athletic Association is the charitable giving program of Hornet Athletics that helps to support these students on their intercollegiate journey. Designed to provide unrestricted support to address the evolving needs of the Athletics Department and its 22 intercollegiate programs, gifts to the fund have an immediate impact, enhancing the overall experience for student-athletes. Gifts of all size make a difference and level up our abilities to offer rewarding experiences for all student-athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athletics at K<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Division III student-athletes take both halves of the name seriously. They recognize that their studies are the true reason they are in college, and they commit to a team above and beyond their coursework because of a real passion for their sport. Kalamazoo College provides a balance of rigorous academics and competitive athletics as part of an individualized K-Plan<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance \u2022 Excellence \u2022 Success \u2022 Teamwork<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalamazoo College Athletics continues to prepare student-athletes for success through the BEST<\/strong> guiding principles: B<\/strong>alance, E<\/strong>xcellence, S<\/strong>uccess and T<\/strong>eamwork. Following this model, student-athletes are able to develop character, leadership qualities, sportsmanship and academic excellence\u2014all skills that will help them to be their BEST<\/strong> in their communities and careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
